The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

Yes, you should

As shit as the game is I still don't understand how they made the ending sequence of events so bad structurally and that they didn't even try to fix it after. Obvious things like allies spawning out of nowhere which is even more broken with corpo-leaning character. How is Boyarsky happy with this? Sawyer wouldn't have let this shit slide lmao

Invisible War is much better.

How bad it may be, Deus Ex Invisible war is better.

Wow, serious?
I had the idea that Deus Ex Invisible War not only had failed as a sequel but also as an action-RPG in general because of the poor design such as the characters, world, quests, etc.

That Invisible War is considered superior by some who played OW.

Invisible War is better because it's less tedious and the dialogue, believe it or not, is far less retarded. IW also had very impressive graphics when it first came out.

Outer Worlds isn't great but if you think Invisible War is better your fucking brain is broken

 

[Whisper]

They are both shit, but Invisibile war do not have LGBT/socialist propaganda all over whole game, so it is a bit better shit.

Except it actually is

What's this about the second half being bad? The first half was already bad enough.

It baffles me as well - maybe these 'reviews' referring to Monarch - a huge bland location (with some shit to actually explore tho) with a lot of backtracking to be done which considered worse than the first few locations where everything is cramped as hell. Or maybe they write that because the plot is not consistent enough (to put it politely) so they're losing it or whatever. Who knows.

Anywayz, the more time passes, the more my internal compass turning from "mediocrity" (which is a fair rate to this) to "irredeemable trash and a fucking disgrace". Reason - world-building/general writing is a joke and it spoils everything. For anyone who still thinking about trying subj out: look at the first settlement on youtube or read somewhere about it and it doesn't get better later on, trust me.

To think I was genuinely exited for this when I first saw the trailer and learned who is in charge. To hell with it. The ship looks nice - that's the only good thing I can say about this game.

Even at half off, TOW's concurrent players' peak was at 20,349 which is half of PoE's and even less than Deadfire's (22,724). Looks like most people who intended to pay money for it on PC either bought it from the Epic store or used gamepass.

or people just aren't interested in playing a game with ugly characters

20k is a decent result, considering the circumstances and the price.

Who designs the female faces? Jesus.

 

[Hellraiser]

Who designs the female faces? Jesus.

Alphabet soup people.

 

[Naraya]

Jesus.

In this case, more like Satan.

Who designs the female faces? Jesus.

I've went through the portfolios of every character artist that worked on the game and not one of them has those atrocious characters in there.
There's plenty of fully clothed characters with helmets from Outer Worlds throughout them.

I have no idea who exactly was responsible for that mess.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

It has to be a self insert of someone or something. A few of them look too similar or have the exact same styles to them for it not to be. Look at blue and gold hair.

Edit: Pics of the Obsidian people? Do they have family or something that look like they got an extra chromosome?

 

[Dishonoredbr]

It seems like the game is selling quite well in Steam. Congrats to Obsidian

Gonna play this again (dropped because my pc was shit before) after finishing pathfinder, maybe i gonna actually like , after reading you guys shittion on it for 200+ page perhaps my expections can be fulfilled.

That collage is a cherry pick, there are plenty of attractive female NPCs. The short/pinned up hair thing is real though (but probably due to having zero physics).

Nuh-uh. There is only one (mildly) attractive girl in the entire game and that is this chick (Celia Robbins). Somehow she slipped through Obsidian's vigorous and thorough vetting process.

That looks like a 13-year-old boy.

That some weird looking 13 year old boy that you met.

Returning to Alanah Pierce's observation, it's funny that in this game where a majority of Codexers seem to agree that the women are deliberately ugly, two out of three female companions (Ellie and Parvati) are actually described in-world as being attractive enough to be fashion models.

 

[DalekFlay]

Codex whiners being thrown off by graphical quality methinks.

Well it really depends on what they model. For all we know they could be models of socks or nose/pig rings.

 

[Alienman]

Considering they have been living of a single diet of salty fish their entire lives, I would have assumed they would look like Innsmouth people, so going by that standard they are "attractive".

I don't trust Alanah Pierce's insights on anything since she gave Halo Infinite a handjob for its visuals when everyone else's eyes were melting out of their skull.

Also: That link doesn't go anywhere, can you repost the info somehow?
